Accepting new patients

No ratings to display.

Why aren't there any ratings?

There is no publicly available rating for this care provider for one of three reasons:

  1. They do not see patients.
  2. They see patients but have not yet received the minimum number of patient experience reviews. To be eligible for display, we require a minimum of 30 surveys. This ensures that the rating is statistically reliable and an accurate reflection of patient experience.
  3. They see patients but do not see enough patients to collect a statistically-reliable patient experience rating.

About me

Lauren Ayala practices as a registered nurse in the Department of Dermatology where she specializes in laser treatments. Her expertise spans both cosmetic and medical necessity patients, ensuring high quality care for all individuals. She finds working in dermatology gratifying as she can assist with improving patients' skin health while also learning and collaborating in a dynamic field. 

Lauren graduated in nursing from Seattle University. Her journey in healthcare began in burn, plastics, and pediatric trauma where she gained invaluable experience in wound healing and patient care. Lauren moved back to her hometown of Portland and further expanded her knowledge in emergency medicine at OHSU, where she honed her skills in critical care. 

Beyond the clinic, she finds pleasure in hosting guests, culinary arts, tending to her garden, international travel, and group fitness classes. Most important to her is the time spent with her husband, family, and friends.

Insurance

Before scheduling your appointment, we recommend you contact your insurance company to verify that the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is included in your network. Your insurance company will also be able to inform you of any copayments, co–insurance, or deductibles that will be your responsibility. If you proceed in scheduling an appointment and your health insurance benefits do not participate with OHSU providers, your out of pocket liability may be higher.
